- “The game is cool, but when loading is slow and the graphics are not good, and the 3D is not operating well.”

The monetization strategy of the game has drawn mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the heavy reliance on in-app purchases and the excessive number of ads required to progress. While some users appreciate the option to play for free by watching ads, they often find the loading times for these ads frustratingly long, and the rewards insufficient to keep up with the game's demands. Overall, the game is perceived as leaning towards a "pay-to-win" model, making it challenging for free-to-play players to compete effectively without significant investment in microtransactions.
- “It's possible to do pretty well without any in-game purchases too.”
- “A shame for everything needing a token to be ahead of your competition, but you can still enjoy the game without needing to spend on microtransactions.”
- “While in-app purchases are possible, if you are smart you don't need to use them.”
- “The game has evolved towards manipulating players into making in-game purchases or you simply cannot compete. Real concerns are met with patronizing 'support' that fails to solve problems, which only adds to the frustration of constant glitches and numerous in-game errors.”
- “This game is a pay-to-win cash grab. You have to buy new players every season, and the players in your team lose a level of quality at the end of every season, forcing you to either always buy new players or have a weaker squad every new season.”
- “The game is essentially a well-disguised way of making you watch ads for them all day. You need to watch a lot of ads to have any chance of success playing for free.”

The optimization of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the significant drop in player ratings and performance at the start of each new season, often suggesting that these declines should be more reflective of individual performance and age. While the game's graphics and overall performance are praised, players desire greater tactical flexibility and improvements in how player abilities are managed, advocating for a system that rewards consistent performance rather than penalizing players with arbitrary rating reductions. Overall, while the game runs smoothly and offers engaging features, there is a strong call for adjustments to the optimization of player performance metrics.
- “I think a decline in a player's ability should be more due to age and previous season performance.”
- “It would also help if players' levels of ability grew based on performances instead of depreciating after each season.”
- “Very good game with excellent graphics, although it would be better if the tokens could be made easier to get if you don't want to buy them with real money or if the transfers could be better optimized to allow people to get players with good deals.”
- “I end up transferring players so much because the skills they lose (as in drops in percentages) seem to have a big influence on next season's performance.”
- “Enjoying this game day by day but how our players' ratings go down is really disturbing because if you don't have more tokens to buy new players, your performance isn't good enough to fight for the top.”
- “Good game but the reduction in player performance every season is not reasonable.”

- “It stays true to what it is and has little to no glitches.”
- “So far no bugs, no glitches, just fine smooth gameplay.”
- “I think it's a good game no glitches and fun to play!”
- “The game has evolved towards manipulating players into making in-game purchases or you simply cannot compete. Real concerns are met with patronizing 'support' that fails to solve problems, which only adds to the frustration of constant glitches and numerous in-game errors.”
- “Oh dear, just remembered why I quit. My first app with loads of money spent disappeared, then reloading in 2019 and quit again. Just reloaded due to heavy advertising on Facebook and guess what? It freezes, keeps disconnecting, and won't load. Pile of garbage software.”
- “Definitely some glitches and crashes recently. Also, developers don't really do much when you reach out in-game, which could lead to a better rating.”
grinding

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and frustrating, often feeling that it leans towards a pay-to-win model. While some enjoy the challenge and believe that free-to-play (f2p) players can still succeed through grinding, many express that significant time investment is required to progress without spending money. Overall, the balance between grinding and spending is a common point of contention among users.
- “It is very tedious having to complete game objectives for coins.”
- “Pay to win game else you have to keep grinding.”
- “For those who are new, there's a lot of grinding to do and as I can see, this game is becoming a pay to win situation, because collecting tokens isn't easy and you need to buy them if you want to constantly keep your team at the same level/stars every month.”

Overall, the humor adds a lighthearted touch that enhances the gaming experience, despite some players expressing frustration with certain mechanics.
- “It's funny when my forward always chooses to take long shots from far away and 99.999% of the time misses, when they could easily bring the ball deep into the penalty area and shoot from there.”
- “The fact that the quality of your team drops every new season is so funny... smart way to get you to spend in the game though, lol.”
- “Funny thing is, my expensive striker somehow often does a backpass in 1-on-1 situations.”

Overall, the game fosters a sense of ownership and management that resonates strongly with long-term players.
